The Lion Way, Everyday!

Lorain Preparatory Academy (LPA) is a tuition-free, public charter school in Lorain, Ohio, dedicated to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for students in grades K–8. We believe every child deserves a seat in a classroom where they are truly seen, which is why we pair high academic standards with the individualized attention only a small school environment can provide.

At LPA, we go beyond the standard school day to ensure your child thrives:

• Personalized Growth:We use a multi-tiered support system to identify learning gaps early, ensuring no student is left behind.

• More Time to Learn: Our extended school day and free after-school care provide students with extra academic engagement and parents with peace of mind.

• Holistic Development: Through integrated Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and robust mental health wrap-around services, we build the confidence and resilience students need to become successful citizens.

• Accessible Education: We offer dedicated transportation services across Lorain and Clearview, making a premium education accessible to our local neighborhood.
